After one brief, shocked moment, he kissed her back with fierce emotion.
They stood that way for a long time, wrapped together on the dance floor until gradually Charlotte realized something subtle had changed. The music had stopped.
A moment later, they heard a throat clearing over the sound system.
“Excuse me, sir.”
Spence looked up at the violinist Charlotte had completely forgotten about—just as she had forgotten the other five members of the orchestra ensemble.
“Would you like us to keep playing?”
He glanced down at Charlotte, a question in his eyes. She smiled and took his hand, and they danced together there in the empty ballroom while the music played and the tea light lanterns flickered gently overhead and her happiness bubbled over.
